(1) Walking

It is possible to visit Kutaka Island on foot, though,It takes about 3 to 4 hours to go around.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

The remote islands of Okinawa are hot and ultraviolet rays are strong even during the winter season when it is cold on the mainland, so walking is not an option.Recommended for those who are physically fit.I will do so.

(2) Bicycle rental

Most popular! There are several stores on Kutaka Island where you can rent bicycles. Many of them are located around the port of Kutaka Island and in the direction of villages, so you can rent a bicycle flexibly and conveniently if you want to rent a bicycle from the middle of the island.

Electric tuk-tuk

You can rent one for one hour for 4,500 yen per vehicle. (Up to 3 people can ride in the car, so it is a good deal if you rent it together!)

It can also block ultraviolet rays.This is why it is popular among women. Although many of the roads are not well maintained, electric tuk-tuks are the easiest way to get around.

4) EV-Electric Kickboard

An electric kickboard is a great way to get around Kutaka Island while feeling the breeze and using less energy than a bicycle.

If you want to spend some quality time!
A tour with a local guide is definitely recommended☆.

Kutaka Island is surprisingly large! It is hard to know where to go from here in the limited time available.

Why is Kutakashima called "God's Island?" and "What is its history and culture?" etc.It's best to hear from people who live there.You can't find it in the tourist magazines! You can hear information that you can't find in tourist magazines.
